Customers are mixed about the battery life of the headphones. Some mention that the sound quality is good and the battery holds its charge well, while others say that it's a main let down.

Brilliant

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 January 2023

Colour Name: WhiteStyle Name: SingleVerified Purchase

I had airpods pro, sony xm1000 4 , various recounded mid price earbuds recommended by what hifi and bose quiet comfort mark 1 and these are by far the best. Airpods the sound is OK with goodish ANC. XM1000 is like brick in your ear and personally I found the anc poor. The bose were also big but with great sound but were literally painful with the clip around ear.
Let me add that I'm not a fan of in ear earbuds as I find them painful but I accept the need for ear sealing for noise isolation as part of and.
So what makes these sony linkbuds s so great?
Firstly, you are going to say wow that's great sound as soon as you put them on. There's a richness to it with solid base that blows the airpods pro mark 1 out if the equation. Its really very vert brilliant up there and maybe better than bose.
I always test ANC to White noise plane background on YouTube and these to an excellent job and a large part is fit (see below) . It's not going to move the world but it is very good and much better than some mid range sonys I've had. Besides when the music sound is this good this is all you'll hear.
There is the weight and size and design. These are a third of the weight of the xm s and all the better for it. The design is a perfect fir your ear and fits like a glove. Sony use recycled plastic and OK it doesn't look as Premium as the xm s but with sound comfort and price like this who cares.
Then there's price. These came out at £180 and now they are regularly £120. That's less than half the price of airpods pro 2 and the new bose and overall their brilliant.
I wanted excellent sound great anc and good comfort and I got all of that with superior comfort. Buy them . You won't be disappointed.
Note to Sony-- get your mobile phone design sorted and stop that 21: 9 sorted and bring back a xperia 3 so I can use sony with sony 😀 (sorry for typos-- did this on my phone)

The best earbuds I've owned

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 May 2023

Colour Name: BlackStyle Name: SingleVerified Purchase

These TWS buds are amazing.

Sound

The sound quality is out of this world. High notes come through crystal clear, bass is deep without being "woofy" or muddy, and the mids are balanced well.

Noise Cancelling

These buds have 3 NC modes; Normal, ANC and Transparency. Normal is as you'd expect, but ANC and Transparency are something else entirely. Putting these buds in with ANC turned on is like the world gets sucked away, leaving only you and your media; only truly deep or sharp sounds get through. Transparency mode is almost the opposite; every noise is replicated by the earbuds and balanced with the media you're playing, so you can hear both clearly. Unlike other transparency modes, there is no noticeable lag and nothing sounds distorted or robotic. You can quickly switch between these modes by tapping the left earbud.

Fit and Comfort

Sony's goal with the Linkbuds line was to make earbuds you could wear all day, and these fit that perfectly. They're incredibly lightweight, to the point that if I switch to Transparency mode and pause my music, I can forget I'm wearing them; I've even fallen asleep while wearing them and they didn't disturb my sleep. Several sizes of silicone earbud tips are included so you can dial in the fitment perfectly; this was crucial for me because my ear canals are different sizes.

Case, Charging and Battery

The case for these is perfect; it's proportions make it perfectly pocketable even when I'm wearing skinny jeans with almost non-existent front pockets. It's also light and small enough that you don't need to worry about finding a spot to keep it. Charging from fully flat takes about 4 hours, but the headphones themselves charge fully in about 45 minutes. When fully charged, you'll get 6 hours with ANC/Transparency off, and 4.5 with either of them on. Including the case, you'll get between 15-20 hours of use depending on modes and volume.

Voice Assistants

I use Google Assistant on my Pixel 6, and these work almost perfectly. Tap and hold on the right earbud until you hear a second chime and Assistant will read the date, time, weather and unread notifications. If you continue to hold after the second chime, you can ask GA anything you would normally and it will respond as normal. I have noticed that sometimes GA doesn't activate fully when prompted, or the voice recognition messes up when you're in noisy environments, but Voice Assistants have problems like that innately so I can't 100% say this is the earbud's fault.

Overall and incredible package, and amazing value for money. 100% recommended for someone who wants high quality TWS earbuds without wanting/being able to pay for Apple's offerings

Sounds the same as the £10 wired Sony headphones

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 May 2024

Colour Name: WhiteStyle Name: SingleVerified Purchase

Pros- Pairs easily with iPhone 15 and other apple devices, long battery life, charges FAST, small charging case, nice features (e.g., customisable tap settings, pause/play, will stop playing when I take a headphone out, will play from just one headphone, etc.).

Cons- I bought these headphones as an upgrade from the wired Sony in-ear headphones (literally the £10 ones) and I'll be completely honest... I don't hear any difference in the sound quality. Even having them in at the same time and playing the same song I haven't heard any difference. So, if I was buying again I probably would go for the cheaper wireless headphones, as I do believe they will sound very similar and just as good. Also, I find that the noise cancellation works well but it will randomly turn on and off which can be annoying (especially when walking along a road I can hear all the cars which I couldn't with my £10 headphones) and if its windy you can't hear your music very easily. Charging case lid also feel's a little flimsy so I am scared it'll eventually break. The app is also faffy/ confusing to use and I can't use some of the features (e.g., customisable equalisation). I will have to sit down for longer to work out how to do it, but I feel like this should have been straight forward.

Rated for Small Ears-Not True

Reviewed in the United States on 28 June 2024

Colour Name: BlackStyle Name: SingleVerified Purchase

I read a review specifically to find earbuds for small ears/ear canals. I guess mine are really tiny because I had to order earbud tips small enough for children, as small as I could find. The tips and the earbuds are still a bit too big. If I eat, talk or move my jaw much they fall out easily.

Geniale Kopfhörer mit kleinem Manko

Reviewed in Germany on 18 June 2024

Colour Name: Earth BlueStyle Name: SingleVerified Purchase

Ich hab mir diese Kopfhörer nun bereits zum zweiten Mal gekauft (nicht weil sie kaputt gegangen sind, sondern weil ich dämlich war und sie verloren habe). Ich finde die Tonqualität aus der Box schon sehr gut für den Preis, mit ein wenig Feintuning in der App bekommt man für das Geld echt ordentlichen Klang und ein ausreichendes Noise-Cancelling. Einziges Manko ist, dass Sony die Kopfhörer so programmiert hat, dass der rechte Ohrhörer immer das Handysignal empfängt und an den linken weiterleitet. Daher kann man den linken nicht ohne den rechten verwenden und der rechte wird immer schneller leer, wenn der rechte bei 0% ankommt hat der linke meist noch 15-20%... das ist echt dämlich. ansonsten bin ich aber rundum zufrieden, auch Tragekomfort ist super, die Dinger wiegen nichts! Von mir aus absolute Empfehlung in dem Preisgebiet!

Wonderful light weight wireless earbuds

Reviewed in the Netherlands on 22 May 2024

Colour Name: BlackStyle Name: SingleVerified Purchase

This is my first pair of fully wireless earbuds. I have tried multiple Bluetooth headphones and receivers, so I had pretty high expectations on this one. And I must say it exceeds all my expectations! It's light weight, and really fits into the ear comfortably. And the sound quality is reasonably good. As you'd expect, noise canceling works better with overhead full ear phones, but we are talking about light weight system.

Barely lasted 2 years

Reviewed in the United Arab Emirates on 30 April 2024

Colour Name: WhiteStyle Name: SingleVerified Purchase

Before I mention the issues these earphones not only sound amazing but also have excellent Active noise cancellation, when it works. However in my time of using it I experienced 2 major flaws which turns out are quite common and many other people experience as well.
Problem 1 started almost a year into using them. Whenever I turn on ANC a weird hissing sound comes from one side, which turns out is a common issue with these, and the fix on Sonys website is “turn noise canceling off”, kinda defeating the purpose of anc earphones.
Problem 2 started just shy of the 2 year mark. The right side earphone only lasts for about an hour on full charge while the left one is fine and still gives around 4-5 hrs. Again something many other people have reported.
Considering the price of these I expected them to definitely last slightly longer.
